Sew?! I Knit

I've got a little sewing project on my hands right now. The store bought bandannas are way to big for Robin & I really wanted some different prints than I could find, so I've decided to sew him up some nice reversible bandannas.
Doesn't he look so cute!
Yep, cute pup wearing a bandana
Gosh will she ever stop taking pictures of me?!
Plus I have several other prints to sew up...plus a few knitting themed fabrics on the way!

Here's the deal though. To buy enough fabric to sew up one, I have to get enough to actually make 4. Robin doesn't need 4 of each print.
If I sew up the extras & put them on etsy is anyone interested? They fit a small to medium dog (neck size up to around 12") and all edges are completely finished off. I find these have long enough tails to tie in a square knot on Robin & the tails are short enough he's not chewing on them very much.

I am already half way through my Argosy scarf in the Noro Cashmere Island. I love how soft it is & this pattern really shows off self striping yarns to their full potential.

For those of you following our drama with Robin's obedience class, class 3 of 8 was tonight. I still don't like the guy & it's very obviously that Robin doesn't either. When he came over to push Robin back into a down Robin just freaked out. However as long as he doesn't ever touch my dog again I think we'll make it through.
Robin just isn't comfortable going into a submissive position when that particular teacher is near by. His downs are solid out of class, but he gets all skiddish and uncomfortable when he's there.

However I'm noticing he's taking a liking to the Shepard pup in class. I'm cool with that. I think I may be taking a shine to the Shepard's owner... puppy's are the best icebreakers.

I'm leaving it off today with a photo of Robin from our pre-class walk this afternoon. He's really starting to look like an adult Sheltie! Plus I just think he looks so happy in this shot~

Keri:

Do you think that perhaps Robin is freaking out because the teacher is male? Or perhaps he senses that you don't really like this teacher and is protecting you? How does he act around other males?

The bandanas are cute (as is the model), I would be interested, but I have a large dog. :(

otis was like that with males until he got a lot of exposure to my dad and my male friends who loved him to pieces. I may be interested in some bandannas if they are knitting related - what a great idea!
